J80 2013 has his winner
Hugo Rocha from « New territories » team.
What was your objectives before to take part in the competition ?
« We are a new team, it was the first time we sailed altogether. Two crew are from Russia, Saint Petersburg, two are from Spain and I’m from Portugal.
We all trained but always on our own. We all participate to championship. Last month I participated to the Spanish Championship and my team finished 3rd but we had to change the team composition because some of the crew had setback.
At the beginning of the competition, we struggle a little bit to manœuvre the boat but then we rapidely improved. I can divide the competiton into two parts : the first 50% we were good (5-12-14-17) and the second 50% we were very ok (1-1-3-1-6)
It’s a shame we couldn’t have sailed today but the wind was irrigular and very light.
